    Hi, I am developing a software for winforms in VS 2005, but the GUI design is done by someone else. I can't let the designer to enter my source code for many reasons. Is there any tool that I can use to design my GUI without accessing the code ? Thank you, Yuval

      You can use visual inheritance. The designer change the base forms that your code inherit. Any changes to base forms (that contain no code) will reflect to your child forms.

        This is exactly what WPF was designed to solve. Have a look at WPF and XAML.

        Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
